Silver Fish (nether variant)

• Infested netherrack blocks would add one more peril to mining in the nether. Currently the lava pockets scattered throughout the netherrack cause some hesitation while tunneling, as lava will flow much more quickly. Having swarms of silverfish-like mobs breaking free from their infested eggs when you are mining would provide another hazard for the explorer. They would need to be fireproof, and should spawn in clusters so as to be a real threat.

They could appear like the “redstone bug” maybe a little less bright.
